Plants belong to the sectionMinashowed characteristic petal pigmentation amongIpomoeaplants. For example, petals ofIpomoea hederifoliavar.luteadisplay yellow color derived from carotenoids and those ofIpomoea quamoclitdisplay red color derived from pelargonidin-based anthocyanins. In this study, the pigment composition and the expression patterns of genes for pigment biosynthesis in the petals ofI. quamoclitandI. hederifoliavar.luteawere analyzed to elucidate the crucial factors that determine petal color in sectionMina. The petals of white-floweredI. quamoclitlack the ability to synthesize anthocyanins and carotenoids because of the suppression of anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) gene expression and transcriptional down-regulation of multiple carotenogenic genes, respectively. In petals ofI. hederifoliavar.lutea, the absence of dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) gene expression is responsible for the lack of anthocyanins. All F1progeny obtained by interspecies crossing betweenI. quamoclitandI. hederifoliavar.luteahad scarlet petal color produced by a combination of pelargonidin-based anthocyanins and carotenoids. The flavanone 3-hydroxylase gene, DFR, and ANS were expressed in the petals of the F1progeny. The results suggest that in these sectionMinaspecies, the carotenoid-accumulating phenotype in petals is dominant, and that pelargonidin was produced in the F1progeny by complementary expression ofDFRfrom white-floweredI. quamoclitandANSfromI. hederifoliavar.lutea.
